P05.01.B Distribution of the staining agent sodium-fluorescein in cerebral neoplasia - a comparison between intraoperative confocal laser endomicroscopy and in vitro fluorescence microscopy
Abstract:Background
While conventional frozen sections and other ex vivo microscopy always come along with artefacts, in vivo confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) offers less invasive, less manipulated imaging of living tissues. Understanding the distribution of the staining agent sodium-fluorescein (NaFl) plays a key role in establishing in vivo CLE as a new opportunity for real-time transmitted, in vivo imaging.
By comparing the distribution of NaFl in in vivo and ex vivo CLE to con… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
